- At the same time, the rules of the road implies the use of a good car seat – that is, having no damage to the body, the impaired integrity of the straps or other breakdowns, due to which the car seat ceases to respond to security requirements.

- In the child’s car seat, we should be transported until it reaches a growth of 150 cm. Car seats are provided for children, weighing up to 36kg. If the child has not reached 150 cm. But its weight is higher than 36 kg, then it should be fastened with a regular car seat belt with special adapters that do not allow a seat belt to shift on the belly or the neck of the child.

What do parents say about the need for car seats?
Anna:
Here I read once again the recall that car seat is expensive, uncomfortable and t.NS. – the hair end up! How can we assume that it is more expensive than your blood? For me, so let the child yell in a car seat, than then to cry over him, God forbid, of course.
Inna:
Without car seat, the child to transport in no case can! You will only think about how much on the road of Lihach. At the same time, it is not at all necessary in the accident to fall so that the child will suffer, enough and emergency braking.
Natasha:
If I had no car seat in the car, I would not have moved from the spot, and would refuse even from the most urgent trip. I’m not just saying – our friends got into an accident shortly before the appearance of our first baby – out of five passengers, four were separated by minor injuries, but their son (4 years) – died. Everything then was just in shock, I had a little miscarriage from stress. At the same time, the driver itself (who has a child died, was not a culprit of an accident). We do not have too high income, the car session is not such a simple purchase for our budget (this is for those who say something like that it is easy to talk about who has a lot of money). In order to buy a car seat with its two kids, we had to significantly limit themselves, for the fact that I was calm for their safety on the road.
